Rate My Professor Junliang Shen

Shen's groundbreaking contributions include resolving the P=W conjecture for GL_n in collaboration with Davesh Maulik, published in the Annals of Mathematics (2024, volume 200, issue 2). Other major publications feature 'Perverse filtrations and Fourier transforms' in Acta Mathematica (2025, volume 234, number 1), 'The D-equivalence conjecture for hyper-Kähler varieties via hyperholomorphic bundles' in Inventiones Mathematicae (2025, volume 241), 'Hitchin fibrations, abelian surfaces, and the P=W conjecture' in the Journal of the American Mathematical Society (2022, volume 35, issue 3), and 'On the intersection cohomology of the moduli of SL_n-Higgs bundles on a curve' in the Journal of Topology (2022, volume 15, issue 3). He has received the 2024 Sloan Research Fellowship, the 2024–25 Arthur Greer Memorial Prize from Yale's Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the David Mumford Best Paper Award in Algebraic Geometry from the International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians (2024), and the SwissMAP Innovator Prize (2018). Shen holds NSF grants (DMS-2000726/2134315 and DMS-2301474) and mentors graduate students while delivering invited lectures internationally.
